Abstract
A self reconfigurable cellular robotic system comprises cells having arms which can be independently extended and retracted in both directions along three orthogonal axes by actuators and coupling member at the distal ends of the arms for coupling adjacent cells. The arrangement of the cells can be modified by extending and retracting the arms and coupling and uncoupling the coupling members.
